Not long in the door from a trip to Leeds for a family wedding this weekend. It was an Indian wedding of one of Raashi’s cousins and it certainly lived up to the hype: great fun, incredible food, some very questionable dance moves on my part – and yes – a free bar. No complaints from me!
Speaking of weddings, Raashi and I are coming up on a big milestone of our own – tin years married (10 is apparently the ‘tin’ wedding)! It genuinely doesn’t feel that long since I rocked up to our reception on horseback (a three-day celebration, no less). There’s neiigh chance I’ll ever forget the date either as it’s engraved on the inside of my ring, just incase. It’s also tin years since we’ve taken over TWDC, that was a busy time for us back then!
When I googled the 10 year wedding anniversary it suggested a gift of a set of designer storage containers (who needs that?) but apparently “the modern version is a diamond” – of course 🙄. I’ll happily settle for 10 tins of beer.
I’ll have to save them for after our works next charity event though, which is just around the corner. On June the 14th a few of us are taking on a 100 mile cycle to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians – a charity that provides medical aid in Gaza and the West Bank. Like everyone else, we’ve been horrified by the situation there and want to do all we can to help. Our cycle is from Glasgow to Edinburgh and back (104 miles exactly) .

We think it might take us 9-10 hours so the tins will definitely come in handy after that. If you see our staff walking around the practice like John Wayne for a while you’ll know we’ve put a good shift in.
Just before the wedding I was also fortunate enough to visit Bensheim in Germany a couple of weeks ago thanks to an invite from Dentsply Sirona. Our practice is practically a Dentsply Sirona showroom already, so they kindly asked me to visit their European HQ – and it was massive! They’re a big worldwide dental company that basically make everything related to dentistry,: chairs, scanners, all the latest gadgets etc.
There were so many freebies on offer and disappointingly all I managed to blag was a high vis vest. Might come in handy for directing the parking at the practice at least. I’m sure our patients have noticed it gets a bit tight in there, thankfully our friends at Farmfoods next door have kindly lent us some of their spaces too.
Some of the kit we have from Dentsply is in our lab room where we can now mill our own crowns in house, ill leave you with this glowing review from one of our lovely patients Tracey after experiencing it first hand:
Game changer for us and our patients!
Take care all and thanks for reading,
Joe
